OVERVIEW.The Trainer Rx platform is a unique online physical therapy (PT) program focused on helping patients recover from injuries and/or surgeries.It offers patients custom PT sessions that can be accessed anytime, anywhere, and on any device. Like conventional PT, it must first be prescribed before patients can access the customized sessions. A one-time cost (lower than most deductibles) gives patients access to their PT sessions for a full year. All sessions utilize video and were shot in front of eye-catching landscape.

Once patients access the platform, they are engaged, demonstrating high participation rates(+80%), shortened recovery periods(30%),and high customer loyalty(87% net promoter score).Patients who utilized the platform demonstrated greater pain reduction,averaging 25%, but for some conditions, they experience a pain reduction of as high as49.5%. To date more than600,000 sessionshave been completed on the platform.

THE CHALLENGES.Despite the platform’s unique features and its successes with patient recovery,the platform hadlittle to no awareness among physicians and clinicians, consumers, and health care systems.
